"History of Iroquois County": "From the record we ascertain that the quota of men required from Stockland, under the president's call of December, 1864, for 300,000 troops, to be thirteen. An amount of money ($800) was raised to pay bounties to volunteers, and the men were provided. This money had been obtained upon the joint note of J. H. Jones, A. J. Stevens, Thomas Wallace, Robert Miller, Philip White, James Williams and Milton De Armond, dated February 23, 1865."
From another source (https://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/pitzer/326/): "There was nothing but a kind of track, I did not cross Mud Creek, kept this side until I got to Crabapple Grove. There were three families there, the old man Williamson end two sons, Phillip White lived with the old gentleman. I knew of them. John William's wife was a daughter of the old folks, (on second thought I think John William's wife was a sister of Fill White), I knew them. I camped there, tied my horses to the wagon and Fill White, a boy of about my age then, and still lives, slept in the wagon with me. I don't know whether he remembers it or not. I never spoke of it to him. He afterwards married Riller Williams, we have gone to school together."
